The Palazzo Bonocore is a Neoclassical palace located on the north side of Piazza Pretoria in central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy.
The palace was originally built in the 16th century by the Di Carlo Family. By 1593, it belonged to the senator of Palermo, Stefano Conte, who sold it to the Gastone Family. By the 18th century, Francesco Gastone, presidente of the local tribunal, refurbished the palace on the occasion of the marriage of his daughter with Francesco Antonio Lo Faso, Duke of Serradifalco. The latter's family occupied the palace until 1829, continuing the decoration of the palace in a Neoclassical style. In 1873, Salvatore Bonocore a wealthy merchant bought the palace. Since 2015, the palace has sponsored a multimedia program about history and culture. [1]
The House of Medici was an Italian banking family and political dynasty that first consolidated power in the Republic of Florence under Cosimo de' Medici, during the first half of the 15th century. The family originated in the Mugello region of Tuscany, and prospered gradually until it was able to fund the Medici Bank. This bank was the largest in Europe during the 15th century and facilitated the Medicis' rise to political power in Florence, although they officially remained citizens rather than monarchs until the 16th century.
